[QUOTE="GCATX, post: 1395224, member: 29405"] I feel that a lot of the braking force is eaten up by the "soft" suspension, all that weight transfer and front dive is eating up braking energy. I think the brakes are fine. The brake pedal feel is fine. It just takes a little more pressure to affect slowing after the suspension is pinned down. It just takes getting used to. Just like pinning the accelerator from a stop, the rear squats, a lot, that is using up some of the acceleration energy. If everything was stiffer, like a sports car, it would stop and go a lot quicker. Long travel suspensions use up a lot of energy, that's what they do. I have had a few occasions to make emergency stops and have locked them up, to whatever extent the ABS allows, a quick chirp, and the shuttering. The brakes are fine. Now, if we're talking some kind of track stuff, who knows, they may fade pretty bad after they get hot. Not my concern though. [/QUOTE]
